Who can use this service ?

This service is targeted towards the research community to provide a scheme
for reliable citations of the data. Shortref.org is a simple solution to generate
easily citable links to your dynamic research contents (results of queries,
visualisation of data sets, interactive graphs, etc).

Its Persistent

Unlike other services, we just not generate a short URL but a persistent identifier.
Automatically inherits all the features provided by the Handle System: reliable, scalable,
flexible, trusted, open architecture and transparent.

If the target link is broken?

With the power of metadata, even if the target link is broken or no more available,
a user can see the metadata. Just use the "noredirec" parameter in the
URL and we will display the associated metadata.
